Former Florida basketball player Teddy Dupay shared in winnings his friend received from a bookmaker after Dupay gave the friend inside information about whether the Gators could cover point spreads, a sworn complaint alleges.

Dupay, who was dismissed from the team last week, is listed as an uncharged co-defendant in a complaint filed against Kresten Lagerman, 23, a finance major who graduated from Florida last May.

The complaint, filed by the University of Florida police department, charges Lagerman with tampering with a witness, victim or informant, and unlawful betting.

It says Dupay provided Lagerman with information that could help him determine how Florida would do against the point spread. The report states Lagerman placed bets on professional and college basketball games, including Florida games, and shared his winnings with Dupay.

Florida endured an injury-filled season in 2000-01, and there were several instances in which players returned from injuries sooner than expected.

"Teddy is not charged," said Dupay's attorney, Gil Schaffnit. "If charges are filed against Mr. Dupay, we'll defend them. It's not up for me to comment on whatever is said about Mr. Dupay and his involvement with others."

Lagerman's attorney, Mike Sawyer, said his client did not want to comment.

The witness-tampering charge stems from allegations in the complaint that Lagerman misled investigators and withheld testimony.

Witness tampering is a third-degree felony punishable by up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. The gambling charge is a second-degree misdemeanor. Penalties range up to 60 days imprisonment and a $500 fine.

The NCAA has very strict rules regarding gambling, mandating a one-year suspension for any student who solicits or accepts a bet involving college or pro sports.

"I understand that I have violated NCAA rules and I take full responsibility for those actions," Dupay said last Friday when his dismissal was announced. "I put myself in a situation that I should not have put myself in, and I am paying the price for that."

Lagerman shared an off-campus apartment with Dupay and Florida players Brent Wright and Udonis Haslem last season. Dupay was the only player investigated by university police.

State Attorney Bill Cervone said he was looking at the report and didn't know how long it would take to determine whether to press charges.

Schaffnit said Dupay is still attending Florida. School officials said they have offered Dupay the chance to complete his senior year under scholarship.

"He is still enrolled, and we would like to ensure that he graduates," Schaffnit said.
